Hello, my name is DJ Joey B. My job is to make your next event, One To Remember! I do not scratch, I just play the best music tailored to your event. I have been DJing professionally since 2005. I have had the opportunity to DJ all types of events. I got my start while I was working for Pearson Music Company. While there I was learning about live sound setups and DJ setups. I made friends with many of the local DJ’s in the area. They told me I should put my love of music together with my knowledge of sound equipment and bring music to the masses.

Sarah started playing harp for weddings in 2009 at the age of 14. She has loved playing at weddings, anniversary parties, rehearsal dinners, and elopements ever since. She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

Awarded Best of Zola
Brianna was such a pleasure to work with. I hired her for her day-of coordination as I planned my wedding myself. It was a small, pretty minimalist wedding with 40 guests, but having Brianna coordinate with the vendors, and lead the rehearsal and wedding day was a huge relief during a stressful planning process. She was flexible with helping us plan our timeline earlier than usual and asked us all of the questions that wouldn’t have ever occurred to me. She was super supportive and communicative and helped find me vendors and just so patient with us. Scheduling meetings through her website was a breeze! Being able to see her availability without going back and forth or waiting for confirmations was super helpful. Brianna was a huge help when we learned we couldn’t store our decor at the venue the day before, so after the rehearsal at the venue, she stashed all the decor in her car. The day of our wedding, Brianna and her assistant put the dinner tables exactly as I had shown her, but I was really impressed with how she used our leftover decor for our guestbook table, gift table, and even the bar! It all felt really cohesive and I was impressed by her creativity and her ability to improvise. Brianna was so reassuring and on top of everything and she really made our day run as smoothly as possible!

I honestly don’t even know where to begin! After being scammed by another planner, I was desperate to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about making my wedding special. And then I found Lauren. From the moment we started working together, she went above and beyond in ways I never imagined. Not only did she handle every detail with such professionalism and care, but she also took on so much more than I ever asked of her. As a DIY bride, I was feeling overwhelmed, but Lauren stepped in and completely transformed the space with her incredible decorating skills. She turned my vision into reality, and it was absolutely stunning. Every little detail was handled seamlessly, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her attention to detail, organization, and creativity truly exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful for everything she did to make my day perfect.

I'm going to REALLY try to not make this review an entire novel. Cutting straight to the chase BOOK THEM! Chef John and Natasha (and entire team) were exceptional from DAY ONE! Yes the venue is gorgeous, but the people really make the place. They have several packages to book from. I loved having options. I had weekly questions lol, they answered expeditiously, detailed and were never rude (not one time). THE FOOD babyyyy; mouth watering. They provide the wedding party lunch and it's real food not just a sandwich tray. They always said "we make sure our bride and goom eat", and they kept that promise. We ate and we ate good! Our guest were also very happy! Lastly, they somehow have a way of making you feel like you are the only wedding that is going on and obviously that is not the case. Their attention to detail was exactly what we needed. This helped us check things off our box and also recall things that we may have forgotten or not thought about. Based on the excessive use of exclamation points you can tell we were very happy with The Chandelier Wedding & Event Venue. You will not regret booking your event here!

Maggie was so great and easy to work with. She was thorough in her communication, which I SO appreciated! Not to mention, the cake and cake pops were incredibly tasty! She took a small idea we had and transformed it into a beautiful cake. Everyone at our wedding raved about the cake and cake pops! I cannot recommend her enough!

Rianna was our wedding planner for our wedding in Beaufort, SC in May 2024. We got engaged in December of 2023 so it was QUICK! I tend to think I can do everything myself and wasn't planning to hire a wedding planner but thank goodness the venue required us to. Rianna was SUCH a blessing in assisting with our wedding plans and making sure our special day was seamless and smooth. I am a control freak and it was a huge relief to know I had a planner that I trusted to make everything run smooth and she truly helped make our wedding day so special. You will not be disappointed! Rianna is truly the best.
